Sufferer Hi All

[RHizzyful]

Hey.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing. So please bare with me...I know what I'm going to write is just going to sound weird. I've never been on a forum before. I just perhaps, wanted to make some friends, read others stories...kill time..I guess.
I'm 19 years old. I was diagnosed with PTSD January 2016 after approx. 9 years of suffering and multiple diagnoses.
I'm not sure what else to say...other than, I hope perhaps, I can help others with my story?
The basis of my PTSD stems from 29 operations, from the medical conditions I've had since before I was born. The hospital stays etc. It also stems from abuse.
So....hello anyone who wants to read. I don't expect anyone to reply, but if anyone wants to, hello to you. :)

Love and hugs, Rhia.

You've come to the wrong place if you aren't expecting any replies.

Hope you do make some friends and are an encouragement to others.

Welcome.

Hi @ RHizzyful
Welcome, I can't recall anyone using the word weird yet to describe a posting here. Just say what you are comfortable with, it's warm and friendly here.

Hi @ RHrizzyful
Welcome, I can't recall anyone using the word weird yet to describe a posting here. Just...

Thank you. I'm very self conscious, so writing out my PTSD and why I have it, I have been rejected a lot of times, and me saying it's weird is because many people have told me to just "get over it" etc. So posting it, I still feel no one will care. I know there's people here that do, I'm realising I'm not alone :)

There will be a few here and there, but it's not meant to be against you. We're all dealing with our own demons, so if someone does seem a bit harsh, realize that they may be just having a bad day and venting, it's not personal by any means.

About 99.9% of the folks here will be super supportive, but we all have our "days".

I'm glad you're here, and yes, helping others is very therapeutic. If you need a virtual shoulder, well, you know where we are for that too. :)
